RIP speakers tell their neighbors what metric to install in their routing
tables. So, for example, if a RIP speaker advertises some directly
connected interface, it doesn't advertise a metric of zero - it advertises a
metric of one. And since on the router on which you're configuring the
redistribution already has the redistributed routes via whatever it is
you're redistributing from, the metric value you use in the 'redistribute'
command has no local significance. So the value that you configure is the
value you want to tell your RIP "neighbors" to install in their routing
tables.

Subject: RIP metric
Folks,
I have 4 lookbacks that i created on one router. I
redistribute the loopbacks in the rip process with a metric of 3. When
I go to the adjoinging router which is also running RIP, I see that
the metric is still 3. Shouldn't the router redistributing the
loopbacks into RIP increment the metric by 1 before forwarding the
updates to the adjoining router?
Any help would be appreciated?
Thanks
